    A) $0.075 variable and $450 fixed

    Explanation:

    to calculate Kendra's fixed and variable components using the high-low method we can use two separate formulas:

    variable costs = (highest utility cost - lowest utility cost) / (highest output - lowest output) = ($1,200 - $600) / (10,000 - 2,000) = $600 / 8,000 = $0.075 per unit

    fixed costs = highest cost - (highest output x variable cost) = $1,200 - (10,000 x $0.075) = $1,200 - $750 = $450
